- psidev.psi.mi.jami.utils.comparator.interaction.InteractionInteractorComparator

All Implemented Interfaces:

Comparator<Interaction>

Direct Known Subclasses:

UnambiguousExactInteractionInteractorComparator, UnambiguousInteractionInteractorComparator
```
public class InteractionInteractorComparator
extends Object
implements Comparator<Interaction>
```
Simple interaction comparator only based on the interactors of an interaction. It will use a InteractorComparator to compare the interactors involved in the interaction. It will ignore all other properties of an Interaction
